Dark Carnival Clown Cinematic Full Body Portrait

What it does

This prompt instructs an AI image generator to create a cinematic, hyperrealistic full-body portrait of a person reimagined as a dark carnival clown, using a provided reference photo to preserve the subject’s identity while applying specified hairstyle, outfit, makeup, pose, and atmosphere. It defines a centered seated composition on a metal stool with a single red balloon, a gritty carnival-like backdrop with chaotic red markings and haze, and detailed camera/lighting parameters for shallow depth of field and mixed warm–cool cinematic contrast. The intended outcome is an editorial-quality, unsettling-yet-elegant image with sharp focus on the face and balloon, realistic textures, and no added text or branding.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

imageInputs

This prompt requires exactly 1 image. You must pass exactly 1 image flag (no more, no fewer), in the order matching the descriptions below.

Models and options

This skill's modality is: image.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "image".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "image" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Required text inputs:
  • image
  • gender
  • hairstyle
  • accessories
  • makeup_style
  • outfit_style
  • lighting_temperature
• Required images:
  • Exactly 1 images: image 1 (your photo). Images must be provided in this order.
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview and its available options. Look up gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "image") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview, options {}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If any required text input or the required images are missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: "Please provide images in this order: image 1 (your photo)".

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use dark-carnival-clown-cinematic-full-body-portrait).

Command form:

betterprompt generate dark-carnival-clown-cinematic-full-body-portrait \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-path <path>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• Pass each image using --image-input-url or --image-input-path, in the order matching the imageInputs descriptions (image 1 first, then image 2, etc.).
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate dark-carnival-clown-cinematic-full-body-portrait \
  --input image=<value> \
  --input gender=<value> \
  --input hairstyle=<value> \
  --input accessories=<value> \
  --input makeup_style=<value> \
  --input outfit_style=<value> \
  --input lighting_temperature=<value> \
  --image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
  --model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview \
  --options '{}'
